The municipal name mean Red Island, and the most striking formation on the
island is a large rock formation lookin somewhat like an ancient Sphynx, called
the Rødøyløva - the Lion of Red Island. It seemed only natural to represent it
on the municipal arms. The silver background is said to stand for the sea.Željko Heimer, 05 December 2015
